Bills without four players vs. Panthers

CHARLOTTE -- The Buffalo Bills are approaching their second preseason game, but they'll be a little shorthanded due to some lingering injuries from both the offseason and training camp. When the Bills take the field at Bank of America Stadium to go up against the Carolina Panthers, four players on the active roster will not be available.

The team announced that cornerback Leodis McKelvin, safety Kenny Ladler, tackle Edawn Coughman and safety Derek Brim will not play against the Panthers on Friday night. Tackle Cordy Glenn will also be unavailable, but he has not been activated off the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list to this point, and is not a member of the active roster.

The Bills suffered two injuries on Wednesday afternoon, the team's final practice session of the week before the upcoming contest, when defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (hamstring) and safety Jonathan Meeks (neck) each had to leave the practice early. It is unknown how much playing time they will get in this game, if they get any at all.
